Phonetics-Phonology Discussion Group
Phondi is a discussion and research group for students and faculty at U-M and nearby universities who have interests in phonetics and phonology. We meet roughly biweekly during the academic year to present our research, discuss "hot" topics in the field, and practice upcoming conference or other presentations. We welcome anyone with interests in phonetics and phonology to join us.
See the Phondi discussion group page for the current schedule. Please contact Jonathan Yip (jonyip@umich.edu) for information, or to be added to our email group.
